We discussed how the hedonic treadmill affects your money on The BIGG Success Show today. Here’s a summary of that discussion.

This show was inspired by an article on the Quicken Loans site by Jackie Lam. We talked about what the hedonic treadmill is, how it affects your money, and how to avoid getting stuck on it. This show is a reminder for us. We hope it helps you too.

Today, on The BIGG Success Show, we continued the conversation even further. We talked about how to fund your passion. Here’s a summary of that discussion.

This series of shows was inspired by the story of Geoffrey Owens, best known as the son-in-law on The Cosby Show. He was seen bagging groceries at a Trader Joe’s.

It seems a lot of people these days feel better about themselves by mocking others. But, he argued, working at Trader Joe’s helped him pay the bills while he continued to do what he loves to do: acting and teaching.

The good news is…good prevailed – he got an acting gig. So now he can follow his passion full-time. But his story inspired us to think about how to fund your passion.
